Hello and welcome to this guided meditation for helping the body to heal and the mind to relax.
This meditation is designed for you to enter a soothing state of tranquility and allow you to access the power of the deep mind to help nourish and heal you.
My name's Richard Willis and all you have to do is simply relax and allow my voice to guide you into a state of peaceful healing.
As we first relax the body and mind for the journey,
Make yourself comfortable.
Take a few deep,
Relaxing breaths and we'll begin in a moment.
Now allow the eyelids to comfortably close and let the breath settle into its own calm,
Natural rhythm.
It's time to relax.
Now take a few seconds to become aware of the present moment.
Allow your mind to let go of thoughts of the past or the future.
Let go of any mental busyness.
Arrive in the present moment.
Feel the sensation of the surface beneath you,
Getting a sense of the whole body settling,
Resting,
Softening,
Grounding itself.
Observe the subtle movements of the body,
Movements as you breathe.
Notice the movement of the air as it calmly flows through the nostrils.
Feel the lightness of the air as it easily flows through the nose.
And if you notice the mind wandering,
That's fine,
That's perfectly natural.
Just gently,
Patiently,
Guide your attention back to the breath.
Notice the movement of the air as it flows deeper into the body.
Watch its gentle motion.
Feel the entire body,
Its calm movement expanding and softening as it breathes,
Wave after gentle wave with each breath,
More and more allowing you,
By breath,
To really relax.
Spend a few silent moments now,
Simply watching the calmness of the breath.
Now begin to get a sense of the energies around you,
In the air,
In the ground,
The energy provided by nature,
By the universe.
Use your intuition to sense its presence all around you,
The feeling of connection with the surface beneath you,
Grounding you.
Able to draw energy up into your body,
Feel the subtle sensation of the air on the skin.
Imagine its energy gently being absorbed into you,
As its invisible swirling air currents gently caress the body,
Like steam rising from a hot tub,
Soothing you,
Absorb its relaxing energy,
Restorative,
Renewing.
Feel that healing life energy all around you,
Left and right,
Behind and in front,
Below,
And now,
As you breathe in,
Picture breathing in the energy above you,
Through the top of the head,
Breathe it in through the crown,
On each in-breath.
Engage the spine with nature's energy,
Fill yourself with vitality,
Breathing in more energy,
It's abundant,
Nature provides.
So tune into it,
And take as much as you need,
Now,
With that plentiful energy,
Begin to gently move it up and down the spine,
As you breathe in,
Move that energy down to the base of the spine,
As you breathe out,
Move it to the top of the spine,
At the base of the head,
Energy down on the in-breath,
Energy up on the out-breath,
Take some time to get into a soothing rhythm,
Let the energy move gently,
Elegantly swirling and curling as it flows,
The paths of nature's curves,
Gently spiraling down and up the spine,
Encourage the natural flow of this energy,
Enjoying the feeling of it,
Flowing down and up with the breath.
Now,
Feel the pleasant sensations of this healing energy in the spine,
It's power,
Naturally beginning to radiate into the rest of the body,
Let it,
Let that energy spread easily throughout the whole body,
Into the torso,
And all its organs,
Into the head,
Along the arms,
And into the hands,
Into the hips,
Legs,
And feet,
Allow the energy to flow to every corner of the body,
Infusing every single cell with nourishment,
Healing,
And a feeling of complete acceptance,
Of a cosmic kindness,
Like being wrapped in a warm blanket,
Filled with such a pure,
Cleansing energy.
Now,
Decide on a part of your body that may need particular attention,
Maybe somewhere that needs special healing,
Or maybe somewhere that needs some soothing relaxation,
Gently guide the energy to that area,
Directing it with kindness is all that it needs,
Nature's healing energy knows how to do the rest,
So let it flow into that area,
Infusing all the cells with a powerful healing,
Permeating every part of it,
More and more,
Until the area feels like it's charged with power,
Glowing with a positive energy,
The energy feels like it's alive,
With its own caring,
Compassionate presence,
Healing you,
Soothing you,
Changing anything that is not beneficial,
Into something that is.
Relax now,
As all the bodies intertwine systems,
Move in harmony,
Supporting each other,
Like a mesmerizing dance,
Wondrous to behold,
Soothing to feel,
Energy flowing in all the right ways,
To all the right places,
In all the right amounts,
Allow it to get to work,
Trust that it knows exactly what to do,
Let go,
And as you relax,
Let it nourish,
Let it heal,
With every breath you take now,
More deeply relaxed,
And more deeply healed,
This energy bringing a profound serenity,
The whole body,
Feeling like it's being held,
And soothed,
Caressed with compassion,
So calm,
So peaceful,
With every breath,
More healed,
More relaxed,
Take some moments now,
To truly enjoy this feeling,
Well done,
Now,
Bring your awareness back,
To the normal feelings of the body,
To the present moment,
And open your eyes,
Your awareness taking in the space around you,
And bringing with you,
That feeling of positive healing,
And relaxation.
